Nightly Contra Dances This Week at John C Campbell Folk School

It's Dance Musicians' Week at John C Campbell Folk School. This fun week long class teaches students to adapt their various instruments for contra and square dance music. These experienced musicians are improving their skills playing in a group, and learning techniques for playing for dances.

In order to practice playing music for dances, there must be...dances! The community is encouraged to attend free contra dances each night in the Community Room. The callers will be Bob Dalsemer and David Kaynor, with music by the class and instructors.
Dances: Monday - 8- 10 p.m.
Tuesday - 7- 9 p.m.
Wednesday - 8- 10 p.m.
Thursday - 8- 10 p.m.
Friday - after the concert*
Saturday- 8- 11 p.m. (the regularly scheduled dance with admission charged.)

*The free Friday night concert at 7 PM. will feature our talented instructors of Dance Musicians' Week. Come listen to New England contra dance tunes from David Kaynor, Peter Siegel, Sue Songer, and Naomi Morse. The concert will be held in the Festival Barn.
